Chapter Twenty-One: The Brothers Are Here
When he woke up, he found himself leaning against a rock, his limbs aching and weak, as if he had been seriously ill. When he opened his eyes, he saw the waning moon hiding in the clouds, appearing and disappearing, and the night breeze rustled the leaves. It's been a long time since I've heard such a quiet and beautiful voice, and Jiutian feels relaxed in his heart, and he closes his eyes again.
While listening to the story, Meizi has been peeking in the direction of Jiutian from time to time, and every move of Jiutian just now was all seen in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say excitedly: "Dao Chief, Jiutian is awake!" Wine...... The demon actually woke up......" She couldn't help but feel her cheeks hot and ashamed when she saw Long Shaocong and Oda Hideko casting strange glances......
Long Shaocong was very strange about Meizi's reaction, wondering if this little girl's brain was in the water, otherwise why was she so excited when she saw the demon wake up. But reality doesn't allow him to think wildly, now that the wine has eased again, a big war will be inevitable.
Now that there is a clear son by his side, Long Shaocong feels full of confidence, and rushes forward with the boy in his hand. But when he arrived at Jiutian, he found that this demon's eyes were peaceful, and there was no trace of the demonic and evil aura that he had before.
Just when Long Shaocong was stunned, Yiqingzi walked over slowly, smiled, and said in the tone of a victor: "Wine day, the time has passed, and your true qi has been broken, I don't know how to feel now?" ”
Before Jiu Tian could reply, Long Shaocong hurriedly said: "Dao Chief, what nonsense are you talking about with him, take advantage of his illness to kill him!" ”
Yiqingzi waved his hand, stopped Long Shaocong, and said: "Although you are the true body of the ancient god, you have long been out of the cycle of life and death, but everything is in the Dao, if you still do not repent, the poor Dao will shatter your Yuan Shen and banish you to the void, so that you will never be able to be reborn, do you believe it or not?" After that, Yiqingzi formed a law seal with one hand, and his face was solemn.
Jiutian's face turned pale, he tried to straighten up, moved and knelt down, bowed deeply to Yiqingzi, and said: "Immortal Chief, little demon subdued the law, ask Immortal Chief for mercy." ”
Yiqingzi nodded, stroked his beard and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, because of a thought, you fell from the fairy road to the demon road, and now it has been 10,000 years since Fengming Qishan was separated from the gods, it can be said that the road to the gods has been blocked, what are your plans for the next step?" ”
"Qi Qi Immortal Chief, the little demon knows that the sin is deep, and he has long been tired of ten thousand years of blood, rain and blood, grievances and killings, and he has the courage to beg the fairy chief to take him in and spare the little demon's life." Jiutian touched the ground with his head all the time, motionless.
"Well," Yiqingzi nodded, turned to Long Shaocong, who had already set up a posture and held the boy to cut, and said: "You broke his seal by mistake, and this demon actually taught you the Nine Yuan True Qi, which can be regarded as a reward for gratitude, and there is still a trace of kindness." Besides, if he really wants to kill you, even ten dragon Shaocong won't be able to live now. ”
Regarding Yiqingzi's words, Long Shaocong was noncommittal, and also understood that if Jiutian wanted to kill him and Meizi from the beginning, he would have no chance of living, but he remembered the countless female corpses he saw in the cave, and couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, and said with awe: "He killed so many innocent people before, if he doesn't pay for his life, heaven will not tolerate it." ”
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, this demon hurts the innocent, mainly because of his demonic nature, not out of his original intention. If he truly repents, and remains for the world to do more good deeds, and many good fruits, to pay for his sins, it is better than killing him for a hundred? ”
Long Shaocong was speechless about this truth, and he also understood in his heart that Yiqingzi was polite to him when he said this, but in fact, for the treatment of Jiutian, Yiqingzi could not care about his opinion at all. I remembered that Jiutian had saved himself, and before the demonic nature, he was even much cuter than the Demon Dao Hirata Sect.
Thinking of this, Long Shaocong nodded, arched his hand and said, "Everything depends on the head of the Dao." ”
Yiqingzi smiled slightly, and said to Jiutian: "In this case, Poor Dao will accept you as a disciple and take you back to Middle-earth, remove the demonic nature, and reform yourself, are you willing?" ”
Jiutian bowed again and said: "The little demon is willing, the teacher is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
Yiqingzi nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Your predecessor was the ancient god Yuan Sheng, but the opportunity to seal the gods has been missed, even if you concentrate on cultivation, after the merit is completed, you may only be able to enter the ranks of scattered immortals." ”
"The little demon was confused for a while, and committed a heinous crime, and no longer dared to have any extravagance, but only wanted to repent wholeheartedly in order to make up for the sins of his previous life." After saying goodbye, I can't cry anymore.
At this point, Yiqingzi's goal has been achieved, so he let Jiutian get up and prepare to say goodbye to everyone.
Meizi saw that she didn't kill Jiutian, and her face was happy, but when she heard that Yiqingzi was going to take Jiutian to Middle-earth, she didn't feel worried about it.
But the biggest reaction was still Long Shaocong, and when he suddenly heard that Yiqingzi was going back to Middle-earth, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Dao Chief, this trip to Middle-earth has to go over the mountains and mountains, trek through mountains and rivers, the road is quite far away, it is better to let the juniors accompany you, there is a companion on the road, and it will not be lonely." ”
Yiqingzi twisted his beard, shook his head and smiled: "Anyone can go, but you can't go." ”
Long Shaocong looked at a loss, why can't I go? I was the most qualified to go, but I didn't have to wait to speak. I heard a clear son say: "At least now is not the time, you stay here, maybe there are important things waiting for you to do." ”
After speaking, he didn't look at the lost and confused Long Shaocong, but took out three talismans from his arms, handed them to the three people respectively, and said: "See you today, the poor road has a fate with you, please put away these three talismans before leaving, and you can save your life in times of crisis." ”
The three of them took the amulet and found that it was made of yellow paper, with a delicate shape, marked with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and it weighed slightly in their hands, and they didn't know what was wrapped in it.
Jiu Tian has been standing beside Yiqingzi in an orderly manner, and when he saw that the master was about to leave, he quickly took out an object in his arms, walked to Long Shaocong, and handed it over.
Long Shaocong took it, opened it and saw that it was actually clothes, from the perspective of later generations, it was a "sleeveless shoulder", like a piece of leather, translucent in black, very light in his hand, I don't know what kind of treasure it is.
Yiqingzi was on the side, but he couldn't help blurting out: Xingdoujia. sighed in his heart, this demon is really extraordinary, Xingdoujia is a demon nemesis, but he took this treasure with him and was not harmed by it. couldn't help but sigh secretly, if it weren't for chance, it would be really difficult to subdue this demon,
Jiu Tian saw Long Shaocong take the treasure, and did not speak, but silently bowed to the three of them, Meizi looked at it in his eyes, and suddenly felt sour in his heart, and wanted to say something, but he wanted to stop talking.
At this time, it was close to the fifth watch, and a glimmer of dawn had already appeared in the east, cutting a gap for the endless night. As soon as Qingzi saw that all the affairs had been dealt with, he arched his hand and said, "Three, there will be a period later." With that, he led the wine and turned to leave.
At the moment when Jiutian turned around, he turned around and smiled kindly at Long Shaocong, Long Shaocong saw it in his eyes, and also smiled in return.
Thinking of the acquaintance with the sake in just a few days, too many unpredictable and unbelievable things have happened, especially in the cherry blossom forest...... Wow, Long Shaocong vomited again......
At this time, Yiqingzi, who had already walked a certain distance, suddenly remembered something, turned to Long Shaocong and shouted, "Remember, my junior brother will come to you......"
Due to the strong mountain wind and the distance, the sound reached Long Shaocong's ears, which had been blown away by the wind and was blurred, and he was concentrating on vomiting, so he heard "I will come to you afterwards", and he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly waved his signal.
But where would Long Shaocong think that his mistake would bring him great trouble afterwards......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The three of them watched a Qingzi master and apprentice disappear into the jungle, feeling that a catastrophe had finally passed, their hearts were relieved, and they were suddenly physically and mentally exhausted.
But just when the three of them just sat down, suddenly there was a sparse footsteps in the south forest, and there were not a few people listening to the sound, Long Shaocong immediately became alert, after yesterday's battle, his sensitive nerves were already tense, and he hurriedly led the two beauties to hide behind a tree.
When the visitors got closer and closer, Long Shaocong saw that a person in front of him was riding a tall horse, wearing shiny full-legged armor, and behind him was a team of cavalry and a team of infantry, waving their flags, which was very majestic.
When Oda Hideko saw that the flag of the person who came was the Yongle Tongbao battle flag, she was immediately excited, and when she got closer, she saw that the general in front of her was her father's henchman, Hori Hidemasa, so she immediately ran out and waved her hand and shouted, "Uncle Hori Hidemasa!" ”
Long Shaocong didn't see that it was wild, a hanging heart, and finally let go, and also pulled Meizi out of the tree.
At this time, I saw Hori Hidemasa turn over and dismount, walked quickly to Oda Hideko, and knelt down in a panic to salute: "The subordinates are late for rescue, please atone for the princess." ”
Oda Hideko finally saw her relatives, and her heart was a lot more steady, especially this Hori Hidemasa was already her father's old minister, she was very familiar with it, and she had always been an uncle in private. The little princess didn't have a princess at all at this time, and said in a pleasant voice: "Uncle has worked hard, my father and they are okay." ”
Hori Hidemasa stood up, and when he saw Princess Hideko calling herself like this in front of outsiders, his heart was warm, but he felt a little inappropriate on his face, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, the lord is all right, it's just, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Oda Hideko also felt that she was a little out of shape, and although her voice was slender and gentle, her words carried the majesty of nobility. Long Shaocong saw it in his eyes, and felt that this little woman was changing too fast, and she couldn't match the panicked appearance last night.
I thought of the sentence again, "Eun Gong, please come." And the crystal clear jade body, I couldn't help but feel my heart rippling......
Seeing the princess's question, Horihide Masato immediately replied: "It's just that the concubine Tsutsui died tragically, and the murderer has not been caught yet, and the princess is very angry that there was such a disaster on the day of the princess's wedding." ”
When Oda Hideko heard this, she replied coldly: "Got it." After that, he looked back at Long Shaocong and Meizi, and said to Hori Hidemasa: "These two are my friends, Uncle Lao...... Saemon-sama gave them two horses and marched with us. ”
Hori Hidemasa nodded and ordered his men to bring three horses over. Oda Hideko took the lead in turning over and getting on the horse, the whole movement was clean and neat, and she couldn't see everyone's beautiful appearance at all, but when she got on the horse, she looked back at Long Shaocong, and she smiled unconsciously, her cheeks flushed, and her legs clamped the horse's belly, and she was the first to leave.
Long Shaocong looked at the back of Oda Hideko, and secretly said that the day of the little princess's wedding was full of flesh and blood, and her husband died, why can't she see a little sadness, but there is still a trace of relief, is it possible that the brains of Japanese women in this era are in water?
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out, so I had to call for Meizi to get on the horse together. But Long Shaocong shouted a few words, and this little girl was stunned and motionless.
As a last resort, Long Shaocong walked closer, only to find that Meizi was lowering her head, and muttering angrily: Aren't he and I still friends? Why don't you look at people when you leave? Hum! Dead monsters, just don't understand human nature......
"Who are you talking about?" Meizi's voice was too small, and Long Shaocong couldn't hear it very clearly, so he had to ask loudly.
"Huh?" Meizi raised her head blankly, her cheeks flushed, and hurriedly said, "No...... Nothing, let's go. After speaking, he hurriedly climbed the saddle and got on the horse with the help of a soldier, but the moment he got on the horse, he couldn't help but laugh when he looked back at Long Shaocong.
Meizi's smile made Long Shaocong even more confused, he couldn't help but look down at himself, looking left and right, he finally found that because he was dragged by a horse yesterday, coupled with Jiutian's desperate fight on the mountain, the clothes on his body were already tattered, full of holes, revealing inch by inch of skin, and even two holes were broken on the back buttocks, and the spring was exposed......
Long Shaocong was suddenly blushed, and the soldiers couldn't help but just look at him, but where did the barren mountains and mountains come from to change their clothes? There was no way, Long Shaocong had no choice but to bite the bullet, pretend to be casual, and ride on his horse to follow the large army down the mountain......
Just as the group had left, the stream was quiet again, and as the morning sun hung over the mountains, a dark shadow suddenly crept down from the trees. This person was like a ghost, dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his head, a black veil covering his face, and only a pair of shining eyes were exposed.
Since Long Shaocong was furious, he had been hiding in the tree, and the time was almost the same as that of Yiqingzi. However, the Tao, the human, and the demon did not discover the existence of this person.
This man was holding a black lacquer gourd in his hand, and what it contained was the spirit and demon qi of the wine heaven. At this time, he was looking at the gourd in his hand, as if he were a treasure, and his eyes were proud......
